Amazing!

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2006)

Talk about an underrated movie. I can definitely understand why it would be underrated. It's world-view is not one that liberals, a.k.a., "Hollywood", would like. It's a pro-life movie in every way. So many of the lines could be taken & applied directly to the issue of abortion: "they're in a vegetative state", "they don't feel emotions or pain", "just a bunch of tissue." These are not exact quotes, I'll warrant, but essentially, the content is the same. It's anti-humanism, & goes right back to the fact that there are always people trying to play God--much to their detriment. Someone in Hollywood actually made this film? We need some more movies like this! That aside, it's a very well-made film. None of the action seems superfluous. That has a tendency to happen many times w/ chase scenes in films ("was that explosion completely necessary?"), but not in this case. The story--aided by the stellar acting--was believable & intelligent. The colors & photography are FABULOUS--the contrast of the landscapes, etc., is the most brilliant in a movie I've seen so far.
